# Installation

CFCouchbase ships with the following contents:

* `/cfcouchbase` - This is the actual SDK code
* `/apidocs` - The API docs that show you the FULL list of SDK methods and their arguments (even ones not covered here). There is also an \[Online Version] as well.
* `/samples` - A collection of sample apps that use the "beer-sample" bucket.  
  * `/beer-brewery-manager` - Showcases view creation, and basic CRUD operations utilizing native CF data structures
  * `/beer-brewery-manager-oo` - Same as above but with OO design patterns.  Showcases Couchbase CFC inflation
  * `/beer-brewery-manager-mvc` - Same as above but as an MVC application. Requires a /coldbox mapping on your server.
  * `/coldbox-sample` - A sample ColdBox application that shows loading CFCouchbase via a module. Requires a /coldbox mapping. 

> **Hint** The API Docs also have descriptions and code samples for every method. They are a must read as well!
